After battling the deadly disease for the past 16 weeks of the year, there is no more dengue outbreak.
Dr Chua said there was a significant drop in dengue cases as compared to early part of the year when the outbreak occurred. To date the disease has killed 40 people, many of whom children.
"There were about 1,500 cases reported in a week in February. But they have since dropped to between 350 and 400 cases a week now and that is normal," he told reporters after visiting the Kangar Hospital here
